X. Control Pad Setup
Factory-new Installation
The system should be programmed with the Configurator
prior to setting up the Control Pads for the first time. The
Essentia amplifier should be placed in its permanent
location, plugged in, and turned on. When a Display Pad is
plugged in for the first time, the following sequence will
occur:
1.When first plugged in, Essentia V. X.XX where X
refers to the current firmware version number
loaded in the Essentia main amplifier unit.
2.Press the Power Button to turn the Control Pad on.
The display will flash the Essentia Version number
screen and immediately go to Zone Selection. If you
have loaded a Configuration into the main unit,
once in Zone Selection mode, all the configured
zone names will appear starting with the first. If you
are setting the system directly out of the box, it will
list generic Zone 1, Zone 2, etc., up to Zone 14.
Setting the appropriate zone address is simply done
by using the arrow buttons to scroll up or down to
the appropriate zone and pressing the OK button.
3. The Control Pad will flash the version-number
screen one more time and immediately turn off.
When powered on, the addressed Control Pad will
then go to the first established source.
At this point, the zone may be operated by the parameters
set in the Configuration. Zone settings may be modified
using the MENU key.
Reprogramming the Zone Address
This procedure allows an addressed Control Pad to be moved
to a new location. Within the main menu of each zone, go to
Setup. Within the Setup options, scroll to Advanced Settings
and to Zone Number. All the used addresses will be grayed
out. That specific zone will have a check mark displayed. Any
available addresses will be accessible. Scrolling to None will
erase the current address.
XI. Using the Control Pad's MENU Button
Menu gives access to specific music selection and control for
each source, as well as zone and system setting capability.
When the MENU button is pushed, the display goes to a
four-line screen labeled Main Menu.
MAIN MENU: There are four Main Menu items that are
consistent to all source selections and pertain to general
system and zone control. They are Favorites, Sources,
Advanced Zone Control and Setup, Fig. 32.

Favorites: Top-line favorites are global. Favorites or play
lists set up within Windows Media Player and synced with
the NuVo M3 Server or within an iPod can be added to the
Favorites list. Potential members of this list can also include
station presets for the NuVo T2G or other sources such as
satellite or cable. When T2G or IR Macro Presets are
assigned, the first twenty are placed in the Favorites menu.
Assigning playlists within the M3 or iPod to global favorites
is done in the M3 Options or iPod Options menu, Fig. 33. This
menu item automatically resides with the M3 or iPod as a
source choice. Once in the Options menu, the choices are
Shuffle, Repeat, Juke Box Mode and Edit Favorites, Fig. 34.
When Edit Favorites is chosen, Add to Favorites will allow
you to add any playlists from the hard drive of either the M3
or iPod, Fig. 35. When the desired choice is highlighted,
pressing the OK button completes the task.
